SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
And of course it would be the same Pirates/Padres series as the other bit o' bizarness.

another bizarre play in MLB.
Well that's one that hasn't happened to me -- yet. The dead ball rule comes into use quite often when you play on open fields with trees and shrubbery not far from the foul lines. The ground rules often include something like "if it hits the bushes out there in left field it is a two base award, but if it hits the tree branches, it is four bases".
